Access control

“It has been very beneficial working with D&P”

Adam Stroud – CEO Paxton Group

Paxton are a leading brand in access control. Adam Stroud, Paxton group CEO said ‘We enjoyed working with D&P, as we can now offer installers a product combining the powerful technology of Net2 with the advantages of a single door handle solution. Would I work with them again? Absolutely.’

Paxton: Please design us a mechanism that is simple, elegant and very reliable.

Paxton asked D&P to design a simple and reliable mechanism for their Net2 PaxLock product which is a networked access control product in a door handle.

D&P: The final mechanism is exactly what Paxton asked for. Simple, elegant and very reliable.

The final mechanism combines elegant design with the practical functions needed for the project. The resulting product is very easy to factory assemble and requires no maintenance. Paxton now have a market leading, robust and reliable product in Net2 PaxLock.

The result

The most important thing we did was to listen carefully to what the client needed and deliver exactly that.
